Seriously, you need to read this. Last Saturday in Echo Park was nuts as cops preemptively invaded the area before the World Series was even over and assaulted people with batons, horses and tear gas. @shoton35mm.bsky.social pieced the violence together in fantastic reporting.
One man who was walking to Gold Room bar had to get surgery on his finger after being shot with a “rubber bullet.”
